Hanna

Though I hoped that this season would be better than the first, as per my review about 5 months ago, I was kinda let down.

• The story is not better than season 1.
• We've got sort of 5 episodes of fillers and 3 more serious and better ones.
• We do not see Hanna more in action (aside the last 3 serious episodes). She should be more on the spotlight, with shininess and more crazy good performances. She is like a human "Bionic" girl with awesome abilities and amazing aiming. The producers & writers really need to understand that and give her increased brilliant spots to shine (martial arts and guns alike).
• Sandy (Áine Rose Daly) was one of the highlight of the season. She's a talented and beautiful actress who has the potential to become a really bad yet powerful smart girl in the series.
• Nothing of real interest for Marissa, aside adding mother-like behaviors to her collection in the show; Although, her personal style of handling guns are one of the best I saw in women and men alike.

Again, I ask the producers, to give to series aim & purpose and squeeze it into a powerful beam for it to really deliver and shine.

Less "useless" characters and more of Hanna in action.

I just finished watching season 2 and I really liked it! I won't compare it with the first season because it has been a while since I've watched it but I would say that it felt almost at the same level, although the story took a different direction. But hey, it's a new season! And I really hope that Amazon keeps it up with more and longer seasons. It's a fairly good mix of drama, action, thriller and many unexpected turns. I found myself really caring about what happens to some characters, seriously annoyed about the decisions of others and often on the edge of my seat, so to speak. Compared to so many average and boring shows available today, this is refreshingly entertaining. Esme Creed-Miles did an excellent job, as well as all the supporting artists.

It doesn't happen often, but this series gets a 9 from me while the 2011 movie gets an 8. And that's saying something since I'm a huge fan of Saoirse Ronan, who played Hanna in the film version. Esme Creed-Miles is very effective in the role of the highly-skilled yet "fish-out-of-water" Hanna, and the supporting cast are also quite convincing. Perhaps an obvious fact (given that there's much more time available) but I feel that this series fleshes out the various characters more than was possible in the movie, which allowed me to become more invested in them. My only complaint is minor, but the production team clearly spent less money by filming a lot of scenes at night, so I'd suggest watching in a dark room if you want to understand what's going on during those moments. Keep an eye out for future roles played by Esme as I predict she's got quite a career ahead of her. I was also captivated by Rhianne Barreto, who very believably plays Hanna's one true friend. The direction, scoring, location scenery, and cinematography (albeit a bit dark at times) are impressive. Highly-recommended binging material.

Season one was great. I was hooked with every episode and the character development was great. Season 2 seems to be pretty bad. Its very redundant and decisions are made that frustrate you beyond belief. Shame cause this series was so good it's first season.

The casting is exceptional, the music is amazing. The cahracter development is great.

At the beggining i thought it will be a simple action show but it turned to be so much more. The base story is pretty simple but the combination of charater development, the direction and the music make some very unique moments that worth watching the series. Also the action is great too.

Im still in the 3rd season but this series won if from 2-3 episodes. So far 1st season is the best by far, mostly because it has my favorite part better: character development.

If you are into action, characters, women as the protagonist then you have to give this show a try.
